He accused her of trying to block him from running for the PUP in Tasmania's March election and said he had been subjected to inappropriate late-night voicemail messages from Ms Lambie.

Mr Zucco says Dr Douglas emailed him in relation to the phone messages, saying Ms Lambie comes from "Boganland" where people wear ugg boots, watch Big Brother and rejoice in their ignorance.

"Jacqui is from a world we see daily and quietly hope will disappear," the email says.

He describes "Boganland" as a place where people are "happy with trinkets and false gold" and says Ms Lambie wants bogans to have a better deal beyond "rubbish foods, tacky clothing and empty lives."

The email says Ms Lambie could be the "ace up our sleeves" and that bogans are "good bell weathers (sic) of community angst/happiness and sometimes what current issues are really important."

Mr Zucco says the emails are derogatory.

"Well he wasn't very flattering to Ms Lambie at all," Mr Zucco said.

Jacqui is from a world we see daily and quietly hope will disappear.

Email from Alex Douglas to Marti Zucco

"I can't comment on what his thoughts were, or what other people's thoughts were, but maybe they were trying to justify why I got those phone calls at that time of the night.

"What I was endeavouring to do was get some resolution to the matter and for them [the late-night messages] to stop.

"This is all a combination of the failure of the PUP, Clive and the executive in dealing with the matter.

"The matter could have been resolved within hours if the PUP was willing to sit down and resolve the matter and maybe inform Jacqui Lambie that she shouldn't be making phone calls of that nature to any person."

'We're all bogans'

Dr Douglas says people should not be offended by his comments.

What's a bogan?

Macquarie dictionary:

Lacking in style, unsophisticated.

Someone who lacks stylishness in their appearance or manners.

Dr Alex Douglas:

Wears ugg boots, watches Big Brother.

Happy with trinkets and false gold.

Likes TV, rubbish foods, tacky clothing and has an empty life.

"They're a combination of emails...the point is, that we're all bogans," he said.

"I'm a bogan. There's bogans in all of us. People shouldn't be offended by it, it's not a derogatory term. I'm overweight therefore I must be a bogan."

Tasmania's Opposition leader Will Hodgman says the comments are disrespectful and demeaning to Tasmanians.

"I was sitting at my desk in my study this morning in my ugg boots and track pants and I nearly choked on my coffee," he said.

"It's sadly, I think, reflective of a party base in Queensland with little interest in the people of Tasmania.

You have no doubt been hearing a lot about the Paris Agreement and know that it pertains to climate change, but are too embarrassed at this stage to ask for an overall explanation of what it's all about.
